I believe that it is important to keep a mailman on thier route so that when he comes deliever the mail, they are recognized by the people they are delievering mail to. Just recently the mailman on my route was out on sickleave and that left me with practically no mail at all. My mail would come in one day and noting the other days. Just recently I called the Bushwick Office (Brooklyn) due some packages sent to me by different companies that I have not received, and they delayed in calling me back. I looked through the confirmation site and noticed that the package was delievered quite sometime back, but what I dont understnad is that without the regular mailman I dont get my mail on time or dont get anything at all. ( I never got my packages though it was confirmed delivered).\r
Sad to say, I have been home for the last five months ( working 5 pm to 1 am (night)) and i never got a buzz from the intercome indicating the delieveries. I believe it was an incompetent delieverer. I paid over 150$ for the packages and I did not get the packages or my money back.
Pros: with regular mailman, services are great
Cons: provisional mailman, services are really bad
